200+lbs to lose

Please do not double - or triple post - put a post in ONE sub forum only not in multiple ones. It will cause confusion.

Omg! I so know what you mean. I was 339lbs before surgery now I'm at 271lbs today. All diet no excercise. I am really trying to crack down on this now. I'm 21 and want to change my habits an be healthier all around. So I told my husband ( who has never weighed more than 170 lbs in his life) we need to excercise now! I'll let you know if we stick to it. I hope we do, maybe I just need some motivation. ? Idk, what has worked for you?

No just a frequent contributor. If EVERYONE double or triple posts it is going to get very confusing. Please do not post identical posts in multiple sub forums. People will find your posts just fine in a single forum.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I really do, and I see how multiple posts can be confusing. But I must tell you, that I don't respond well to people telling me what I should or should not do. I do want to make the process of reading my posts as easy as possible, but I would have appreciated it if you came to me in a different way. You might have asked me not to post multiple posts, or even suggested that I didn't. But to tell flat out tell me not to really rubbed me the wrong way.

May I suggest that you consider your approach when talking to people, especially when it comes to evangelizing. You can be forceful and get your point across with out being bossy or coming off as controlling. Jesus, the disciples, and apostles, were Master's of this skill. Even Paul knew when to chide and when to exhort.

I prayed for help. I know that might sound crazy, but I did. My loss stalled and I was really feeling like I'd blown it.

I have a gym membership down the street, but was SO intimidated by the mere thought of going. So I started out by just dancing in the vanity area of my bathroom...one song, then two songs...until I got bored with it.

So then I started making excuses to walk more at work, then one morning, I just struck out in my neighborhood. I decided that I wanted to go to a certain place, and that no matter how many times I had to start and stop, I was gonna get there. That did something for me. So, since then, I've felt pretty darn invincible and the weight has really been coming off. I've been walking at the lake, too.

I have feet issues and because I was on them so much more, they really started to flare up. I bought a pair men's size 9 Nike Alvords and they saved my feet. So, I'm up to 25 minutes on the treadmill, but I don't kill myself. I walk slow and make sure my heart rate stays in the fat burning zone. We have to do what works for us and not focus on what others are doing. I'm losing very well now. Please take a moment to look at my blog. Check out the "status update" page. It tells the story.

I went back to the drawing board with my foods, too. I'm watching my intake and avoiding the foods and habits that got me here in the first place.

I'm sorry this is so long. I can go on and on, but I'll stop. I'm here for you. You can do this. We can do this. We just need encouragement from each other! I'm a firm believer in that!

Hi there Angel, its Angela here from the UK. I don’t know if you’ve picked up my reply from your other post so I’ve pasted it over to this one.

WOW you are doing brilliantly, I am sooooo impressed with your weightloss. Even though I’m not quite in the 200+ group, I only hope that I can do as well as you.

Everything is going just fine for me, no stalls as yet at almost 8 weeks out. The weight is coming off steadily and I’m more than happy with it that way. I am sooooo thrilled that I have my sleeve and feel greatful everyday for it.

What a coincidence that I should happen upon your post today, I was going to get in touch with you anyway.

I just wanted to let you know that the new series of Supersize vs Superskinny is starting over here next week. I can’t wait to see it and will be looking out for you.

I’ll let my fellow UK sleeve sisters who I have as friends know about it so that they can also tune in.

Take care and keep in touch with your inspiring posts.

Love

Angela xxxx

I responded to your other message. I'm so happy for you and glad you're losing steadily. I'm excited about the show, too. Thanks for spreading the word! I'll be sure to look for you on here, too. I'd love to get to know you better.

[Guest liveagain1973]

I really do understand. I wasn't aware of the rule and I wasn't trying to complicate things. It makes a lot of sense. I just didn't know, and, at no time, have I refused to cease and desist.

That was never the issue.

I do think that everyone should have the right to stand up for themselves, though.

Closing thread. Happy that everyone understands the rules. No harm done by making a simple error. We're all here for the same reason and purpose. Let's try to keep that in mind. Hope everyone has an amazing day!
